bird 9,594 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 we seem to park our cars in the same garage as they say. That sounds very gay .......... i didnt like to say incase brookie jumped in doesnt bother me pal in the slightest ..joshuas being very carefully managed ,so much so hes won a commonwealth title for example if you get my drift .in the whyte fight his limitations were there for all to see .the problem his backers have now is getting their investment back before hes down the David Price road im afraid .i remember all the hullaballoo on here concerning price and every one shouting from the rafters he was the next coming and i said all along hes going no-where and getting loads of stick all the time well im saying it here again ,as soon as joshuas stepped up its game over .. maybe so, but at the moment apart from haye there no other heavyweights that will stop him, and if they hold him back for 2 years , maybe then he might beat haye . AJ will be heavyweight champ of the world in 3 years time anyway . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm a fan of (watching) boxing, but know little to nothing about the technical side of it, so here's a genuine question. Why is Joshua "not ready" for the big time yet? Why does he need another couple of years to mature? He's 26, so hardly a kid. I understand you need to progress little by little, but I'm pretty sure a lot of fighters were fighting for titles long before that age. Is this different for different fighters? Or is it the "new" way of doing things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,664 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Martin v Hibbert fight was quality fight. Great respect shown from 2 fighters What a good honest scrap that was it was a shame he missed the count as he now has a stoppage on his record as opposed to a decision loss but it was a very entertaining fight fought in great spirit between friends which itself is not an easy thing to do.......real good night of boxing all the local lads had good displays it will be a great boxing venue over the coming years. Walshie he has only had 15 fights and fought at domestic level. Yeah, I understand that bit. My question is why? Age is irrelevant its experience that counts.......like any new pro it takes a while to get rid of the amateur traits.......new pros dont do hard sparring anymore they get their main experience in competetive paid fights whereas years ago you had sparring partners who would earn their living by testing the big name fighters of the day....today those paid sparring partners are called journeyman pros and are used by the big names to pad out unbeaten records......its all about money in that way the big name,the journeyman and the promoter all get paid for something that years ago took place in a gym !........living the life of a pro fighter 24/7 can be a major adjustment and takes time for some lads as it can be a difficult transition.......you look at the fresh faces of some of these young lads today and you can see they have never been in a tough fight in their life....amateurs dont really sit down on their punches as its about scoring points so because gym wars are a thing of the past now the first hard punch a fresh young pro takes will often be the first hard punch they have ever taken so they need such careful guidance.......i dont think its right but its the times we live in. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
